Many organizations realize that they must consider the risks associated with not upgrading their current communications system.

Their legacy platforms may be at end-of-support or may no longer support the new BYOD (bring your own device) trend, Cloud applications, or even many common video, mobility, collaboration and unified communication applications that users require.

At Alcatel-Lucent, we understand each organization faces unique challenges associated with the different stages of migration. That's why the Alcatel-Lucent OpenTouch™ Suite allows enterprises to reuse many components of their legacy PBX infrastructure while transitioning to a new communications platform, such as IP telephony and SIP-based multimedia communications — enabling them to transition at their own pace.
